Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday August 15, 2012 @03:29AM from the ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead dept.

hypnosec writes "Adobe has announced that it will be making the Flash Player for Android unavailable for new devices and users from August 15 in continuation of its plan to discontinue development of Flash Player for mobile browsers. The company announced its decision through a blog post and further said that only those users who have already installed the flash player on their devices will be receiving any future updates. To ensure that this is the case, Adobe is going to make configuration changes on its Google Play Flash Player page."
